Thanks. I knew my question was kind of stupid. But being a complete newbie, I don't want to brick the unit to save couple of $ either.

All the games listed will work, remember that some of the games only work for specific regions. Find the right ones.. new/used doesnt matter as long as it reads. I modded my 4.3u with a used SSBB that looked brand new.

Used discs wouldn't bother me. As you say, if the disc is readable, all is well. But I wouldn't buy a used console. I may however be buying a used PS3 board, more than likely...
I may even modify it to run water cooled :D I'm contemplating the matter.

Lets keep this thread on topic. The hijacking link in my signature is for a random nonsense thread if you dont want to make your own thread.

If your on 4.3 you have to use one of the suggested games, and like joostinonline said you cant see files in data management, only if you were on 4.1 and lower then you would see bannerbomb.

I'd buy a used Console! I want a used PAL-region Wii from around 2 years ago which has never been updated (ie before boot2v4 was introduced) to allow me to play :)

What are you talking about? What does this have to do with the guide?

OK, so I've finished Chapter 2 as far as installing Priiloader (blocked the healthwarning etc). I just have a few questions:

Darkcorp: Does this only enable playing of burned DVD games? If so, I don't think I'll need it, but if I do need it in future, can I install after installing all the apps (chapter 3), or should I install now in case I may need it? Conversely, if I do install now, may it break/something else break it in future?

Priiloader: Aside from blocking disc update etc, what does it do? I assume it's installed on NAND, so if I brick in future, I can boot whilst holding reset and always get into Priiloader to (hopefully) fix it? Can Priiloader remove all those "please ensure you're wearing the wristband" warnings?

Will the tutorial allow backup to and playing of backed-up games from a USB drive? If so, does it matter which USB port I plug into?

If I alter the autoboot, will I be unable to access the main system menu? Or will it just introduce an extra step into doing so? Either way, as we primarily just play games normally, this option may not be for me, right?

I did a softmodd before using a tutorial I found somewhere (think I dl'd from Team Twiizers and just installed bootmii as IOS and HBC, then played a bit with the Homebrew content). I never really understood power and customisation available from modding, and pretty much left it, so that when I inserted the Mario All*Stars game I got for xmas, it auto-updated my menu and removed my HBC. So yeah, I'm a n00b, and sorry for the daft questions!

Conversely, if I do install now, may it break/something else break it in future? Darkcorp patches a bunch of IOS's, it just lets you play burned games through the disc channel. If you ever want to play burned games (and you have an older console), just use neogamma.

Priiloader: Aside from blocking disc update etc, what does it do? I assume it's installed on NAND, so if I brick in future, I can boot whilst holding reset and always get into Priiloader to (hopefully) fix it? Can Priiloader remove all those "please ensure you're wearing the wristband" warnings?No, it can't block those. If you install a system menu, priiloader will get overwritten.

Will the tutorial allow backup to and playing of backed-up games from a USB drive?Yes If so, does it matter which USB port I plug into? It's got to be in the bottom port if the wii is on its side, right if standing up

If I alter the autoboot, will I be unable to access the main system menu? Yes, through more steps. Or will it just introduce an extra step into doing so? Either way, as we primarily just play games normally, this option may not be for me, right?If you're going to play games through the disc channel, just let it autoboot the system menu.

if you have more info to add, there's an edit button. You're not supposed to bump within 24hrs.
